Great place to visit or take out of town guests. Gift shop has great souvenirs. Love to learn new things about the animals they are rehabilitating.

Don't expect a "zoo" feeling--this is a place that rescues wildlife. Informative tour guides and dedicated staff make it worth seeing. Kudos to all involved.

This is a great place to see elusive wildlife and rehab facilities. They also have a very nice gift shop.

This is a great place to see the native wildlife that are being rehabilitated. Most are released back to the area where they were found if possible. Those critters that can't survive in the wild are provided with a nice and as natural as can be, place to live out their lives. Great for all ages.

This Center is well worth the trip. You will see many wild animals and get to see some animals up close that you could never get close to in the wild. Of special note are the Bald Eagles. Just amazingly beautiful birds. The staff is dedicated and are quite informative. Great experience.

More like what didn't like. I loved the interaction with the tour guide which made me even more comfortable on the tour.I'm an animal lover all the way and it was a beautiful day and I can't wait to go back again.

I commend the staff and volunteers at wildlife images for the excellent work they do rehabilitating local species and just caring for otherwise lost and uncared for animals. Although it's always hard for me to see animals in captivity, in almost all of the cases these animals really wouldn't survive the wild on their own anymore and it's lovely to know that someone will care for them for as long as possible. The grounds are lovely and the staff really seem to love their jobs. Thanks :)

Great walking tour and the kids loved it and got to interact with a few animals. Worth it to spend a day. They rescue so that's a plus.

What a wonderful way to experience and learn about wildlife! What a wide variety you will see from Eagles to fox, from wolves to bear.

I was so excited to have my kids participate in the summer camp program! Not only did they come home excited about what they learned, they truly enjoyed the unique ice-cream social "graduation party"! They gave all the kiddos graduation certificates, ice cream and lots of fun encounters with the animals, especially the baby skunks! They have a new appreciation wildlife. So fortunate to have something like this in our own backyard!

Wildlife Images is an amazing opportunity to get up close and personal with incredible animals including wolves, eagles, a badger, bobcats, etc. The grounds are lush and well-kept and the animal enclosures are spacious and resemble their natural habitats as much as they can. They rescue close to a 1,000 orphaned and injured animals per year and it it funded entirely by donation! The work they do is incredible. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and funny to boot! My favorite was the badger named "Nubs". He did what they call the "Happy Badger Dance" when we were there. A must see if you are in the Southern Oregon area.

This is a wonderful place doing very important work for wildlife. It is well worth a visit if you are in the area. We drove several hours out of our way to include this in our itinerary and probably wouldn't do that again.I came very close to giving this attraction 3 stars, but given the importance of their mission, I moved this to 4 stars.I think it is great that you go through with a guide so that you can get good information tailored to the needs and interests of your group. This also keeps the group sizes reasonable so that your visit is not overcrowded.However, our guide was somewhat disappointing. He provided information that conflicted with what was presented on the website and did not necessarily present the center in the most positive light. For example, as former Alaskans, we had noted that the website indicates the bears came from Soldotna, while our guide indicated they were from Kenai, and that they had not been released to the wild because the state of Alaska "lost the paperwork/forgot about them." The other reviews on Trip Advisor are thoughtful and provide some good insights.

Wildlife Images is well known in Southern Oregon for their work with injured wildlife. And they have a terrific collection of wildlife for folks to visit and enjoy. If you have someone with mobility issues, they provide a golf cart for the tour, but call ahead to let them know you'll need it.

I got to run along side a Puma/Cougar named Clark (who was enclosed in his huge play area) and that was a thrill to hear him panting and purring. The kids had never seen bears, wolves, foxes, and eagles before so up close...truly amazing! Afterwards, my son of 2 1/2 was saying how he wanted to help animals too by pretending to take out "thorns" from stuffed animal's paws...he totally got the great work that is done here.
